      Jupp. I like wearing belts and the quality of most is dismal. You have to pay a serious amount of money for a belt, that will survive even a year of regular wear. And not that I mind paying for quality...but considering the small amount of material and hardware needed and how easy belts are to manufacture, belts are really overpriced compared to other articles of clothing/accessories. I often make fabric belts for outfits for that reason and am considering getting into leatherwork, even.

      ​@@raraavis7782 you absolutely should get into leatherwork, it's super easy to get into and do decent quality stuff, the tools are relatively inexpensive and it's the leathers (and any fancy hardware) that can cost you as much as you want based on what quality you get, and if you sink the many many hours of training and studying necessary to get great at it then you can create pretty breathtaking projects.

      One thing I'd like is the stiffened fabric belts don't last. Plus the center point in front curls up on leather and cloth belts. This might bite, but it would last awhile. As you said, the corset will stop it digging in so much. These
      Belts made a brief come back inthe late 1980's 1990's along with conchos, ovals, corded belts.

    I got something similar as a gift from family stationed to Afghanistan years and years ago. They found it at a market and thought it fit my style and appreciation of dance, not realizing it was a real vintage custom dance piece and probably worth far more than they paid even though it was missing a few stones. Yes, it has semiprecious stones inlaid into each plate piece and not cheap ones either! They didn't realize that though; it was just "something pretty" and coordinated with a bracelet to be an extra special gift.

    It’s beautiful! What a special piece. Your knowledge about the pieces makes them so special. I often wonder how many amazing things we pass up on a daily basis never knowing their history or back story that might make them more meaningful, especially as I’m getting older and coming across some writings from family members who have passed about certain family heirlooms that have been passed down that we never knew the history of. I discovered a chair my brother has that he got from my grandma belonged to my great grandmother and my great grandfather spent his last few weeks in that chair and oddly enough he actually passed in the chair. No one in my living family knew this history of the chair until I came across this old writing from my great grandmother in my basement (I bought my grandmother’s house and many of her belongings were still in it, I began going through them with her when she was still alive but she passed in 2020 and we hadn’t gotten quite through everything yet).

    So that’s why the magic belt from the oz books looked like that

    I purchased one just like that one in Mexico. Pure silver and sometimes I have used it like a bracelet. It’s a wonderful piece in my wardrobe.

    i love the style of the north american covers because they take themselves seriously while also conveying a fantastical element. i feel like the covers which use a photo might imply to the reader that they're supposed to believe that actual cats are supposed to be doing all the things in the books which isn't really the case. i think the original north american covers are soo successful it's kind of amazing to see them side by side with less successful covers (as well as covers which totally understood the assignment like japan, korea, taiwan, and some of the german ones).

    The way you styled the dress with the belt reminds me of how Queen Amalia of Greece used to style her dresses. She wasn't of Greek descendance but loved the country to her core and embraced pieces of the traditional style with hers. She would wear her long dresses with a type of belt like this, a red gilet with gold-thread hem and the red small hat we call " fesi".

    We have the same blets that we wear in Morocco with takchita and catans we call them " mdama" . They usually come in gold and they're worn for special occasions such as weddings

    I had one of these belts when I was a kid It belonged to my great-aunt She probably got it as a hand me down in like the 1920s when she was a teenager. Loved that belt. Mine eventually became worn out the hinges just couldn't handle it anymore. I still have bits of it in my memories box.

    Having the box is extra special and adds value to the piece. As does the screwdriver. Keep it safe. That is special.

    We still use these in morocco. The wealthy people own them in real gold. Typically worn during weddings and big celebrations. The bride always wears different gold belts

    They're so chic! I've really loved certain pieces of outfits. I didn't think I'd be so captured by this type of belt though. It's really cool 🫶
    I've also seen similar waist pieces from the 80's too. Although can't remember what movies...
